“I was very anxious about leaving my 2 dogs with anyone I didn’t know. We have 2 Rottweilers and they have never stayed anywhere overnight before. When I contacted Morgan she responded immediately. Then agreed to meet us to be sure it would be a good fit before dropping them off. Once we met her she answered all of our questions and was extremely accommodating! Deacon and Diamond seemed to love her dog Pete and it would only be the three of them until we picked them up. Morgan let them sleep in the floor of her bedroom and sent pictures throughout their stay. I was definitely more relaxed knowing they were doing ok! I would definitely recommend Morgan as a sitter!”
“Mason literally was a like saver. We were visiting from New Orleans for a wedding in Oxford. The hotel was pet friendly but we realized quickly that our newest puppy ( who we had never traveled with) was a howler when left in the hotel room. Last minute we reached out to Mason who agreed to watch both our pups at the last minute. She was extremely accommodating and sent pictures and text messages to us the entire duration of their stay! I would 100% use Mason again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently take care of my own dog full time, so I understand how important routine, safety, and attention are. I provide a loving, reliable environment and treat every pet like my own, and I’m happy to provide references from past clients. I’m a college student with a light schedule, usually only having a couple classes a day, so I have plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and boarding, and I can be flexible with different schedules. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment and make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep a clean space, and give lots of attention and supervision. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority.
“Jennifer was very sweet and knowledgeable about dog care. She kept me informed with email and pics during her stay Ginger enjoyed her time there and I will definitely use her again.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I've been pet sitting since I was a freshman in high school. Over the years, I've cared for pets with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines. I genuinely love spending time with animals and strive to provide dependable, attentive care that helps pets feel comfortable and gives owners peace of mind. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'll treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. I am currently available seven days a week and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets at all times! I live in a spacious condo in The Reserve in Oxford, which provides plenty of room for pets to feel comfortable and at home. While my backyard is not fenced, it offers a large open area for supervised outdoor time, and I currently have no immediate neighbors, creating a quiet environment for pets to enjoy. Inside, there is ample space for dogs and cats to relax, play, and move around freely based on their individual personalities and comfort levels. I also have experience caring for pets in my home, including housing and caring for one of my roommate's dogs for an extended period this past May. Whether your pet enjoys being active outdoors, playing inside, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I am committed to providing a safe, attentive, and loving experience that helps them feel comfortable while you're away.

“This was Morgan’s first time taking care of Niki kitty. Niki is not an easy cat to take care of because he goes outside part of the day & sometimes it’s hard to find him. Morgan did a great job handling all the challenges as well as taking care of a few personal things for me while I was out of town. Trustworthy & Conscientious are two words that describe Morgan.”
“Being the 1st time in 12 years I had to find someone to care for our 12 yr old who is diabetic and blind. Finding Graham was a blessing. I was gone 5 days and received pictures and updates a couple of times daily. I could not have asked for any better, thank you Graham for what you do…”
“Brianna did an incredible job caring for my kitties while I was gone. She went the extra mile to make sure my fur babies, (and home), were well cared for. Pete, Walgreen and Oreo loved her! Great communication and photos. I couldn’t ask for better care.”
“This was the first time we had Madison come and stay and look after our two cats. They are quite a bit of work and Madison managed this perfectly. We came home to a lovely clean home and two happy looking cats. I really appreciated that I received updates and photos unprompted and felt that Madison really cared about them. Would definitely ask her again.”
“Ashley did a great job at taking care of my two very high maintenance Maine Coon cats. She was very responsive and sent lots of photos. Came home to two very content cats. Would definitely use Ashley again.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats through both pet sitting and animal welfare work. Over the years, I have cat sat for numerous families, caring for cats with a variety of personalities, routines, and needs. In addition, I spent several years working in the cat room at a local animal shelter, where I helped care for cats of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. This experience taught me how to read feline body language, build trust with shy or nervous cats, and provide proper daily care, enrichment, and affection. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers quiet companionship, I understand that every cat is unique and will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Laney did a phenomenal job. She is kind, responsive, and loving. I never had any doubt that my two kitty cats were being taken care of when they were with her. I will use her again next time I go out of town.”
About: Since high school, I have been trusted to care for a family friend's two cats whenever they were away. Because the cats had very different personalities, I learned how to tailor my care to each pet's unique needs whether that meant engaging in play and interaction or giving them the space and patience they preferred. This experience strengthened my love for caring for animals and taught me the importance of providing dependable, compassionate care that helps both pets and owners feel at ease.
About: My boyfriend and I adopted a family of cats 2 years ago (a mom and her two sons), and I don’t know how I ever lived without cats in my life before! That said, I’m familiar with multi-cat household dynamics, feeding schedules, and the importance of clean litter boxes to keep your kitties happy and healthy!
About: I’ve had a cat by my side my entire life, which means I truly understand their unique personalities, quirks, and needs. From cuddly lap cats to independent explorers, I know how to read their behavior and create a calm, safe, and loving environment. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience—this isn’t just a job, it’s second nature. I give every cat personalized attention, whether that’s playtime, brushing, or simply respecting their space. Your cat will feel cared for and understood as if they were my own.

Monitor and replenish supplies like food, medications, and grooming products. By integrating pet care into my routine, I ensure each pet receives consistent, attentive, and loving care throughout the day and week. In-Home Pet Care: Safety Measures: Conduct a thorough home inspection to identify and eliminate any hazards. Secure all doors, windows, and fences to prevent escapes. Keep toxic substances out of reach, including cleaning supplies and certain plants. Use pet-safe cleaning products to maintain a healthy environment.

Ensure access to fresh water and food, following dietary guidelines provided by the owner. Provide ample exercise and mental stimulation tailored to the pet's age, breed, and energy level.

“I reached out to Graham pretty last minute to board my dog during a 5 day trip, and was so pleased. Great communication, and Graham and his wife took great care of my dog and sent daily picture updates. I was also glad that their sweet dog Toby was there to be a playmate. They had clearly bonded by the time I came to pick Bernie up. I would highly recommend Graham for animal care!”
“Mason is super sweet, caring and an amazing dog caretaker When we visit Oxford we let her watch our 12 year Lucy during the day while we are busy at events. She is very responsive and always sends us some cute pics of our old lady.”
“Jenna is very sweet and made our anxious little dog feel right at home. We especially appreciate that she was able to accommodate us on short notice as we were in town for one day. We didn't worry a bit about him being in her hands while we attended an event. Great communication and photos. Highly recommend!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up caring for 5 dogs, a cat, a tortoise, and plenty of other pets over the years, so being around animals feels very natural to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors by feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or older, I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m currently in class Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 9am–12pm, and I work Friday and Saturday nights, but outside of those times I have a very flexible schedule.

At our house during college, we’ve had 3 cats, so I’m very used to caring for animals daily and understanding different personalities and routines. I’ve also helped take care of foster dogs from the animal shelter, which taught me patience and how to work with pets that may be nervous or need extra attention. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and proper care.

From daily walks to playtime and snuggles, I treat every pup like part of the family I have class Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings from 11-12:15 but I’m free most other times for walks, drop-ins, or playtime! I’m super flexible with afternoons, evenings, and usually weekends. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I make up for it with plenty of walks and outdoor playtime. I have a small yard for quick potty breaks and always make sure pups are safe, leashed, and cared for like my own.
About: What sets me apart is reliability and communication. You won’t have to wonder how things are going. I keep you updated and handle everything responsibly. I treat both your pet and your home with care and respect, like it’s my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I structure my days around consistency and reliability.

I plan my day to make sure pets get my full attention, whether that’s active play, walks, or simply being present so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also build in time for updates to owners, so you always know how things are going. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and predictable environment for every pet. I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding, medications, and routines, to keep things consistent. I’m very aware of surroundings during walks and in the home, making sure pets stay secure and out of unsafe situations. I treat your home with respect and keep everything clean and organized.

About: Hi, my name is Lindsey, and I can't wait to meet your pet! I've been around animals my entire life, from cats to dogs, and have provided excellent care to captive animals such as wolves, bobcats, and more. I have about two years of professional dog grooming experience. I have degrees in environmental science, and am currently a postdoc researcher at the University of Mississippi. I took a break from doing Rover during graduate school, so my profile has been largely inactive since ~2019, but now that I have a normal schedule again, I'm back at it! My work schedule is generally flexible, so I can work around it to fit the best possible care for your pet. There is a dog park at my apartment I love to use, and the rail trail here in Oxford backs right up to my complex making longer walks convenient. I know I want the absolute best care for my own dog, so I promise the best care for your pets as long as they are with me! My work schedule is generally 8:30 - 4:30, with at least one remote workday per week. Usually, I have one day per week that I do field work, which makes for a longer workday, but I always know in advance so I can plan accordingly. On a typical day, I walk my own dog from 7:00-7:30am, come home for a walk at lunch around 12:00pm, and do a longer walk around 5:00pm with a short bedtime potty break around 9:00pm (sometimes earlier or later depending on how late we're up!) As Aldo has gotten older, he generally prefers shorter walks/hikes, but I am always flexible to make the length and difficulty of walks match your pets' needs. Aldo is crate-trained, and I still have a spare large crate to use if needed. Safety is my biggest concern, especially because he will get into any crumbs or trash can if given the opportunity. I have a security cam set up in my home that I check remotely to make sure pets are doing well throughout the day. I do not have multiple pets out in the living areas together when unsupervised, unless they're very familiar with one another.

I genuinely love spending time with animals and strive to provide dependable, attentive care that helps pets feel comfortable and gives owners peace of mind. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'll treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. I am currently available seven days a week and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets at all times! I live in a spacious condo in The Reserve in Oxford, which provides plenty of room for pets to feel comfortable and at home. While my backyard is not fenced, it offers a large open area for supervised outdoor time, and I currently have no immediate neighbors, creating a quiet environment for pets to enjoy. Inside, there is ample space for dogs and cats to relax, play, and move around freely based on their individual personalities and comfort levels. I also have experience caring for pets in my home, including housing and caring for one of my roommate's dogs for an extended period this past May. Whether your pet enjoys being active outdoors, playing inside, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I am committed to providing a safe, attentive, and loving experience that helps them feel comfortable while you're away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. Labs, Sheppards, goldens, etc I love them all. I’m very active and love to go on a nice walk or throw the ball with the dog! I currently have a block schedule for school. Only Tuesday / Thursday classes so I tend to have a pretty clear schedule on other days. I love to go on walks outside so it would be easy for me to incorporate a dog into that. I feed dogs and play with them or walk them. Dogs typically like me and feel comfortable with me around. I am clean and dependable.
About: My family has always had dogs. I have pet sat for many families in my neighborhood. I am not scared of big dogs and love active dogs! I have lots of free time due to my class schedule and would love to help with any pets! I am free early every morning to do morning walks asweell I am very patient with animals. I understand that most animals take a second to warm up to people so I respect that and don't force any interactions
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Growing up I had three dogs, one being a labrador, a golden retriever and a plot hound for 16 years. My three dogs I had since they were puppies till they were seniors one was 21 years old. One was 11 and one was 16 when they passed. Now I have two pit terriers that I have had for three years now. I grew up, always taking care of them. And taking care of my friends and neighbors dogs all throughout the years if they went out of town on a vacation or if they were just gone for the weekend I would visit and take care of them for the time being. I have taken care of a bunch of cats as well, because my friends and family have many. I have a lot of experience with taking dogs on walks especially big dogs. My three dogs were almost all 70 to 80 pounds and I would take all three of them on walks at the same time. I really enjoy being around animals and being able to take care of them. As of right now I am not working so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate almost every day of the week. Time or day that you need depending on your schedule, just let me know and we can definitely work something out. Right now I do live at an apartment which does not allow animals. So the space is not animal friendly at the moment. But I am working on finding a more friendly space.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every dog. I’m attentive to details like medication schedules, potty training consistency, and providing calm companionship for older pets who need extra reassurance and care. Im currently a student at The University of Mississippi and have a pretty lenient schedule. I do not work any other job so I am mainly free other than when I am in class. My home offers plenty of space for your fur babies to run around, I have dog food, treats, and toys in my house if needed. I also have a spacious yard for your puppy to run around in and play. I can promise you that your dog will feel right at home in mine!

“I was very anxious about leaving my 2 dogs with anyone I didn’t know. We have 2 Rottweilers and they have never stayed anywhere overnight before. When I contacted Morgan she responded immediately. Then agreed to meet us to be sure it would be a good fit before dropping them off. Once we met her she answered all of our questions and was extremely accommodating! Deacon and Diamond seemed to love her dog Pete and it would only be the three of them until we picked them up. Morgan let them sleep in the floor of her bedroom and sent pictures throughout their stay. I was definitely more relaxed knowing they were doing ok! I would definitely recommend Morgan as a sitter!”
“Mason literally was a like saver. We were visiting from New Orleans for a wedding in Oxford. The hotel was pet friendly but we realized quickly that our newest puppy ( who we had never traveled with) was a howler when left in the hotel room. Last minute we reached out to Mason who agreed to watch both our pups at the last minute. She was extremely accommodating and sent pictures and text messages to us the entire duration of their stay! I would 100% use Mason again.”
“Jennifer was very sweet and knowledgeable about dog care. She kept me informed with email and pics during her stay Ginger enjoyed her time there and I will definitely use her again.”

“Elle was amazing with my puppy! Ella had such a great time. She kept me updated with pictures throughout the day, and her communication was top-notch. I’m definitely looking forward to using Elle again in the future!”

“Stuart and Victoria were awesome! I had never met them and needed to leave my 10-year-old Doodle for a week during Christmas holidays. He got to be their inside pet the whole time and their family loved on him like he was their own. They sent pictures and were very responsive to chat and be flexible. Your pet can also roam their land and get plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend!”
